Randburg, Johannesburg
Ferndale on Republic is located on Republic Road, on the site of the former Brightwater Commons. The 2019 redevelopment created something more interesting: a large, open convenience hub that blends everyday anchor retail with community hospitality, health and wellness set in a mixed use cluster that includes Urban Brew Studios.
This shopping centre offers 90+ stores, including a value shopping zone, a big Planet Fitness (with an inhouse Plato Coffee) and a great Stodels Nursery, this precinct draws a consistent LSM 8 to 10+ audience from a densely populated household catchment. A cluster of good coffee shops and free Wi-Fi enable strong weekday footfall beyond just shopping.
With 36,000 homes within a 3.5km radius and average household heads aged 42 to 48, this is a mature, established audience that appreciates the convenience of an all in one, local destination.
